Traditional fireworks lit up the night sky over Moscow on Tuesday as Victory Day celebrations came to an end. May 9 is one of the most important dates in the Russian political calendar. But this year's celebrations were markedly smaller.
Some 8,000 troops took part in a parade in Moscow’s Red Square on Tuesday - the lowest number since 2008. Even the procession in 2020, the year of the pandemic, featured some 13,000 soldiers, and 11,000 troops took part in 2022.
There was no fly-over of military jets, and the event lasted less than the usual hour.
